THE READING BADGE 2014
Like every year, we had a reading badge
this year, too. Students who enjoy
reading have to read at least five
books on their own choice and then they
have to tell a summary of the stories
to teacher Barbara Waldhütter. All the
students who read five or even more
books get a diploma at the event which
is meant for the end of reading badge.
Those students who read a lot of books
also get a book from a known writer

told us that when he writes for children, he doesn't want to be childish,
but realistic. As he said, his inspiration was mostly his wife, children and
nature. After that we asked him a few
questions about him, his works, prizes,
starts of writing and so on. He kindly
answered to all of our questions and we
found out a lot of new things about
him. If you want to know more about his
answers, look on the next page.

We made the event for the end of reading badge this year, too, on 4th April.
At the beginning of the day we had creative workshops. We made posters about
the writer we invited and about his
works. When we finished with our work,
we all went to our house of culture and
the event started. Our vocal group has
sang a song from the writer we invited
and two students recited a beautiful
love poetry. The invited writer has

HOW DID SHE BEGIN?

and which is a typical instrument for
belly dancing. She was impressed with

SPORTS EVENTS IN SLOVENIA
Because Slovenia is a small country there

Golden Fox
It is a traditional skiing competition
for world Cup for women. This event is
organized every year on Pohorje in Maribor. The first competition was 50 years
ago. Because of problems with ski trail
the competition was in Kranjska Gora six
times, including this year. Last year our
own competitor Tina Maze was very successful. She came second on 26th January
2013 in giant slalom in Maribor and so
she got her first small globe and next
day she won in slalom.
But this year she fell out just before
the end of the ski slope. This year a

by Austrian ski jumper Seppa Bradl. The
first flight over 200 metres happened in

record was 239 metres and happened in
2005 by Romören.

My opinion on what makes a good friend17
P I N C H
I am going to write about friendship. I
have many friends, but I always ask
myself if they are the real ones. I
don’t trust people very easily because I
think that everyone can’t keep a secret.
So I have this one best friend who I
spend most of my time with. Her name is
Katarina, she is from Benedikt. She is
very funny and because she is not from
my village I don’t see her every week or
every two weeks, but I see her once a
month. We have made a plan to see each
other once a month. It’s not easy, because she is the same age as I am and

I can see a lot of teenagers in our
school struggling because they have no
one to talk to in the class. Maybe they
need help because they don’t know something about their homework, or they just
need someone to talk to. But there is no
one. And maybe you should take a look
around yourself and you will see a lot
of unhappy people. Ignoring people or
students is really hard, because they
feel like they are alone and they are
lonely. If you step to him and ask him/
